Taylor (knee) was limited in practice Friday and is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's season finale against the Bills, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Taylor will figure to act as the primary backup to Brady Cook if cleared to suit up Week 18, while if he's unable to play, Hendon Hooker will stand to be elevated from the practice squad and handle the No. 2 role. While Taylor initially avoided an injury designation for New York's loss to the Patriots in Week 17, he was ultimate made inactive for the contest due to a personal issue and the knee injury he's been nursing since mid-December.

Taylor (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Taylor continues to work through a lingering knee injury that popped up in mid-December, so Friday's practice report should shed light on whether the veteran signal caller will be available for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Bills. If Taylor is unable to play, then Hendon Hooker would likely be elevated from the practice squad to the active roster to serve as the Jets' backup quarterback behind Brady Cook.

Taylor (knee/personal) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Patriots.
EDGE Analysis
As Rich Cimini of ESPN.com notes, Taylor didn't practice Friday due to a personal reason. In the veteran signal-caller's absence Sunday, practice-squad elevation Hendon Hooker is slated to back up starting QB Brady Cook.

Taylor (knee/personal) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against New England and will work as the Jets' No. 2 quarterback, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Taylor was deemed a limited participant in practice Wednesday and Thursday due to a lingering knee issue. He downgraded to a non-participant Friday, but the Jets labeled the reason as "personal," and Taylor has been cleared to suit up against the Patriots. For the second straight week, he'll work as the backup QB behind rookie Brady Cook.

Taylor (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Head coach Aaron Glenn told reporters Tuesday that Justin Fields (knee) would be shut down for the rest of the season, so Taylor will serve as the Jets' backup quarterback against the Patriots on Sunday (assuming he's healthy) while Brady Cook starts in a third straight game. Taylor would avoid an injury designation for Week 17 if he's able to practice fully by Friday.

Taylor (groin/knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Saints.
EDGE Analysis
While managing his pair of injuries, Taylor wasn't available for last week's loss to the Jaguars, paving the way for undrafted rookie Brady Cook to make his first career start. Cook is set to direct the offense once again in Week 16, but Taylor will be available to serve as the No. 2 option after he followed a pair of limited practices Wednesday and Thursday with a full session Friday. If Taylor is able to turn in a full slate of practices next week, he could return to the starting lineup for the Jets' penultimate game of the season against the Patriots, though Cook may retain the top job with a solid showing versus New Orleans.

Taylor (groin/knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints.
EDGE Analysis
Brady Cook has already been named the Week 16 starter, so Taylor and Justin Fields (knee) are duking it out for the right to back up the undrafted rookie Sunday. Both Taylor and Fields are listed as questionable, but Taylor appears to be the likelier of the two quarterbacks to ultimately be deemed available. Taylor said Friday that he feels good enough to play Sunday, per Brian Costello of the New York Post, while Fields described himself as week-to-week.

Taylor (groin/knee) was listed as limited at Thursday's practice, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Taylor is now listed with a knee injury in addition to the groin injury that kept him out of this past Sunday's loss to the Jaguars. Brady Cook made his first NFL start against the Jaguars and has already been named the starter for Sunday's game against the Saints. The healthier of Taylor or Justin Fields (knee) will work as the backup, with that race being too close to call after a pair of limited listings from both veteran quarterbacks Wednesday and Thursday.

Taylor (groin) was estimated as a limited participant at Wednesday's walk-through practice, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jets head coach Aaron Glenn has already stated that Brady Cook will start Sunday versus the Saints, but one of Taylor or Fields will operate as the No. 2 quarterback, health depending. A knee injury suffered Week 14 against the Dolphins prevented Taylor from taking the field during New York's loss to Jacksonville in Week 15.
